Roman Ragazzi, Gay Porn Star And Israeli Military Trainer, Commits Suicide
-
Dror Barak, a 38-year-old former gay-porn star who performed under the name Roman Ragazzi, took his own life this past Saturday.
Back in 2007, the New York Post outed Barak for leading a double life as an employee of the Israeli consulate and as a gay porn star. He was subsequently fired from the consulate.
Later in the year, Barak/Ragazzi seemed to come to terms with his new life as a gay man, starting a personal training company called Freedom Fitness.
GayPornBlog.com broke the story yesterday, confirming with multiple industry insiders.The blog also spoke with Raging Stallion head Chris Ward, who had some kind words and high praise for Barak:
“He was probably the hottest man I have ever filmed,” eulogized Ward. “A massive man of pure beauty, intelligence and kindness. He was perfect in every possible way.”The musclebound hunk was recently featured in an Out magazine photo shoot alongside Calvin Klein beau Nick Gruber and Marc Jacobs’ ad-exec ex-boy Lorenzo Martone.
Rest in peace, Dror.

It is a real tragedy that he was having to deal with all that, even moreso that it led to him deciding to take his life. He was one of my favorite pornstars and it sucks that I wont be able to see him any more! I can only imagine the turmoil that he had been going through trying to keep a balance between his real and second life. The world just needs to be more open-minded!
